Jacky Ickx shares thoughts ahead of 24 Hours of Le Mans

Belgian racing legend Jacky Ickx speaks ahead of the start of the 94th edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans scheduled for Saturday.

Jacky Ickx, aged 81 and a six-time winner of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, will be present this weekend in the garage of Genesis Magma Racing. He supports the Korean manufacturer as an ambassador for the race starting Saturday at 4 p.m.

In an interview with Le Figaro, Ickx said: « Pour être en forme, il faut être actif tant que la santé vous le permet. C’est rare qu’on puisse participer à la construction d’une équipe et tellement formidable de pouvoir encore toucher, à mon âge, les dividendes d’une autre vie. Le plus important, ce n’est pas hier, c’est aujourd’hui, c’est le présent ! »

The former driver nicknamed « Monsieur Le Mans » remains passionate about motorsport and closely follows the Korean brand's adventure on channel L’Équipe.
